Walking On WatersA Poem by Paige O'Connor
The tempest hauls me at the sea
onto roaring waters. I fight for life. I stand until my legs burn, until my body collapses, until I die and I see the treacherous abyss below. It waits patiently with its jaws wide open, ready to swallow me whole. The waters churn surrounding my very soul. Feeling like this could only mean that I'm sinking into my tears. I'll breakdown. Feeling like this could only mean that I'm sinking into wretched waters. Let me drown. Feeling like this could only mean that I'm sinking into myself. I will shout. Feeling like this could only mean that I'm sinking. Well, I'm sinking. Pull me out. Because waiting for you is like trying to walk on water with weights in my bones.
